Albuquerque joins the ranks of Boston, MA; San Francisco, CA; Philadelphia, PA; Milwaukee, WI; Birmingham, AL; Tacoma WA; and other cities by naming its first city-wide Poet Laureate on Saturday, April 14th, 2012 at 11 a.m. the Downtown Public Library. The announcement will include a short reading by Joan Logghe, Santa Fe’s Poet Laureate, and Levi Romero, New Mexico’s Centennial Poet, as well as a longer reading by the new Poet Laureate.
The Albuquerque Poet Laureate Program (APLP) celebrates poetry by offering a resident poet who makes meaningful connections, honors and serves our diverse community, elevates the importance of the art form, and shares poetry with Albuquerque residents. Over the course of a year, the Organizing Committee (OC) has created and steered a process involving interested community members (the Selection Committee) as they sorted through applications from interested applicants and selected the Poet Laureate.
